After his wife of forty-one years died of cancer, Irvin Peckham needed to get in touch with himself rather than find himself through his relationship with others. He took Marianne Moore's line, "the cure for loneliness is solitude," to heart. Viajando sin Mapas narrates the experience of this seventy-three-year-old gringo driving with his newly rescued pit bull mix from New Jersey to the end of the road in Panama. Readers will discover a travelogue description of setting out alone through Mexico and Central America. The trip down was challenging, mostly because of the progressively more difficult border crossings, lack of maps, and Peckham's minimal Spanish. Yet the countryside was beautiful, the people generous, and the officials uniformly helpful, although occasionally in need of bribes. After spending six weeks in a cabana overlooking the Pacific in northwest Panama, the old gringo was ready to drive back with the benefit of semiweekly Spanish lessons. Still, he managed to have his car impounded for four days, get lost on roads that were little more than cowpaths, and drive into a hurricane. If you travel with Peckham by reading this book, you will learn that most of what you hear about traveling through Latin America is myth. And if you happen to be in Peckham's situation, you will learn the pleasures of traveling, with your dog, alone.

The book begins at 3 a.m near Marina Del Rey. I was found unconscious at the wheel of my1973 Volkswagen bus. Rocky had met Network on the Twentieth Century Fox lot where fear propelled me into that bus past the Darth Vader greeter at the gate.I began work as a driver at the Fox studio in the fall of 1977. Bad times seemed behind me, PR jobs, house disappeared in New York. Wife and daughter left after film school. I was 31, full of hope with a screenplay in hand. I just wanted to eat free food on sets and maybe date a lovely extra. They offered me two jobs. One with a dangerous old alcoholic on his last legs gassing executives cars and the other a set up for embezzlement under my signature.Insanity led to a three building collision of rumors which caused the death of my cinderella Hollywood story, cancellation of the movie deal. As I was blackballed by the teamsters, the unemployment office asked me why. The state then audited all of the Star Wars money at Twentieth Century Fox. I told the Beverly Hills psychiatrist paid through medical "this is an unbelievable story." He agreed. After recovering slowly in San Francisco I vomited up the seventies on a bus headed for Tahoe for a chance to dream again.

NEW! Catch the video based on the book here: https: //www.youtube.com/watch?v=qbBX_Bzn6_s&t=20sAbout the book...Mike Marcon has written of a time in the 1960's when sport parachuting, or "skydiving," as it is called today, was just starting to come into its own as a sport. In the U.S., Europe and across the world, even in the Soviet Union, small groups of jumpers would gather at local airports and grass airstrips on the week-ends. The equipment they used was usually military surplus -- their aircraft, a mixed bag of smaller airplanes.Mike's early days as a jumper took place mainly in the south, starting first in Mississippi and later, in Louisiana. Mike reveled in the sport as a young guy with nothing on his mind but jumping, girls and partying. He was the master of practical jokes. The characters he recounts in "Red Beans & Ripcords" are varied and slightly off-balance.There was Major Goody who tried to kill a cat with homemade nitroglycerine, and Swartz who jumped with his dog. There were the first-jump students he trained and the jumpers who became his extended family. There were the ocelots kept as pets that terrorized the various visitors that visited his parachute center. There were outrageous drinking games and eating unbelievable amounts of a southern staple, red beans and rice. You'll roar with laughter at the story of "Eddy and the Body." And, through it all, there was Leon, the Cajun, his mentor and friend. You'll most likely hear the sound of Zydeco music in the pages of this book.See what life was like for early sport parachuting pioneers.
